The image shows two men lying down in the bed of a red pickup truck on a gray asphalt road. Both men are visible from head to toe. The man on the left wears a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and has a moustache. His arms are crossed over his chest, and his eyes are closed. The man on the right wears a grey T-shirt, brown trousers, and is clean-shaven. His arms are also crossed over his chest, and his eyes are closed. Various buckets and tools surround them, such as paint brushes, brooms, and a shovel.
